It says on the websites 66 height... does that mean 66 inches because I’ve been looking to buy a twig from you guys but 66 inches would be too tall for me
I have begun the process with these guys on making my own stick. I sent them a new stick with my curve that is no longer available and he is in the process of making the mold to make my unicorn. Cant wait until it is complete!! Great company, service and sticks!
I have a McDavid and rasky, my brother has a pm9, my neighbor has a geno. We all love the sticks. Great pop, great feel, super durable. I sent him some goalie sticks to make customs so maybe order one when he puts up the preorder
I couldn’t agree more. I bought a stick to see how I would like it and I loved it so much I have sent him a stick to make a mold for me of my favorite curve and soon I won’t have to pay $300 plus for my favorite curve! The guy is passionate and has a great business.
Throwing this information out there for any potential customers: I like mine much and I've been doing pro sticks since 1978. My "custom" Laine came in at 397 grams full - length and my MacKinnon at 378 grams. The options are great!!! Being older a straighter stick was also needed and their LEON gave me that! I'm the cowbird and switch patterns depending upon what I'm doing so this company gives me options and a serious consistency that I appreciate. Hockey Tote
Ordered two of these bad boys. Great customer service and help choosing the right options and curves based on personal preferences. Can't wait to get these on the ice!
@@HockeyReviews So do I, I'm an absolute stick guy. I have pretty much have every other top brand stick under the sun except True's so really looking forward to comparing. If they are as good as you say, I see more orders on the horizon! Love the customization. You should definitely get hooked up with the G63 build and a p92. That's a review I'm sure loads of us would like to see. Then maybe I'll get a G63 too :p
I had one of these, and I agree with the comments in the video, but this issue I had with it is in just two games the stick deteriorated pretty quickly. Maybe it was a bad batch or something, or just my bad luck, but I was hoping it would’ve held up better.
Love the video! Not much on these sticks available, but I really want one, lol. Will you be doing a review on the newer, more customizable sticks from this company?
I put a big order in when they announced their 2.0 Customizer. Unfortunately I put custom graphics on every stick I got so it is taking longer than normal orders do 😂
I see you've been posting a lot of Hockeystickman stuff lately on Instagram. I don't live in Ontario but have been thinking of trying their Pro Blackout Extra Lite stick. Have you tried it? Do you know how it compares to these sticks? I've ordered one of these sticks and I really like it, but they are pretty expensive in comparison.
I find the flex consistent with other brands, but it is funny that you say CCM are softer than Bauer, when I had a comment 4 hours later saying CCM is stiffer than Bauer 😂. Retail sticks will have flex tolerances of about +- 10, so it really depends on the stick you get. Personally, I find all retail sticks to be comparable to each other right now. Some have a better release and kick, but the best test for flex is when passing and stick handling.
Hey, i know this is a old video, but i could use your quick expertise on what you may know about ProRocc sticks based out on Canada, is it the same brand as the Pro stick in this video?? .. im being told that the chief engineer of bauer sticks does their ProRocc line. Do you know anythinf about the company or sticks? They have ProRocc listed sticks, and they also have listed Bauer Nexus 2N sticks with no graphics an wondering if i can expect a actual 2N type stick or if its gimmick.. any insight be greatly appreciate. Thanks for your time & efforts #33
I don't know anything of those ProRocc sticks, from the look of it they are the same as all the other small (but not the same as the company in this video) companies out there that orders sticks through sites like Aliexpress. I always hear the same thing about all of the companies, that their sticks are the exact stick Bauer used x-years ago but they've never lived up to the hype. The only small brand stick like that I have seen and was impressed by was the one in this video.
So, I still think Hoapa are solid sticks, but these are considerably better for shooting and the grip finish. Hoapa was slightly below Sherwood, while these compete against the best.
@@kylephillips594 I've never used No Name so I can't say from them. But for shot release it goes basically like this: CCM > Bauer = Pro Stock Sticks > Warrior = True > Sherwood > Hoapa
Curious if you'd tried out their other models, particularly their Third Line models that's about $50 cheaper then their Red Line models? Info on the website has it as 50g heavier (425g vs 375g) but seems like it'd be perfectly fine for once a week men's league use. Especially for those who probably wouldn't get the most out of a top-end stick anyway.
I have their Third Line as well, it is obviously heavier but the balance feels similar and overall the stick feels solid. Besides the HSM Pro Blackout Custom (basically a 400g version of this) the Third Line is hard to beat in value
Gotta just find what's comfortable to you! I use a stick that would be considered too small for my height. So unfortunately you have to just try different lengths and see what you like
Did you have the mid kick or low kick version? I'm using Jetspeed FT5 prostock right now with hybrid kickpoint. I loved how FT ghost feeled in hand and the super round 70 flex is tempting cause I think it will be similar to that but you can only get it on low kick. I'm not shooting slapshots at all, only Matthews/Bedard style wrist/snapshots and I play with quite short stick. Have you tested both kick points and which one would you recommend?
I have basically all shaft builds from them and will be doing a video in the future for it. Kick point is totally personal preference, generally speaking I like lows and hybrids more than mids. My favourite stick from PSHS is the Third Line, and mine is a mid but I feel like it doesn't sacrifice shooting like the Novium, Supreme, Tacks sticks do. Where you have to have perfect technique and really load the stick, I shot the mid Third Line pretty well and never felt like I was really missing anything because of the kick point. If I were to order another custom PSHS, I would personally go mid, but again it is totally personal preference and from what I remember PSHS has Third Line in 70 flex being low kick and the super round. I would say check that one out and it isn't THAT expensive so you can really experiment with things.
@@HockeyReviews I'm going for the third line, 100 euros isnt much from the stick. I like the Jetspeeds hybrid kickpoint and have played both low and mid (CCM tacks and bauer vapor line) in the past. Maybe I go with the 70 flex super round first and if I dont like it that much I can go mid kick later (or maybe hybrid if they can create it someday).
@@HockeyReviews one review just said low kick is lacking shot power on everything and mid kick is superior so if you wanna shoot dont buy a low kick but I think it cant be that bad
@@J0nssi I don't have issues using the low kicks or the mids of these. Neither of them kick as hard as the top end sticks from other companies, but they don't feel like duds either. If I am buying a big brand stick, I am only buying the top end ones. PSHS offers too much of a value compared to the competition.
Some will tell you it’s based on body weight however, I don’t agree. My advice: if you have a hockey store that I)has a shooting section to try sticks and ii) is accessible to you then go and try allot of flexes and kick points.
Just a bit of information for shooters - sorry goalies I do that also but - the OVIE has that "staging" available in its release - the follow-through will be at 3-feet but if you slightly adjust the wrist, that puck stages upward. If you have not played goal then try to visualize that I can see your follow-through at its height and end of release - behind a group of payers - I can stick my glove out and it's in there - the OVIE blade shape and pattern allows for a slight staging where that visual is different from most sticks in how the puck comes off that blade. I've done this for 40+ years; Mogilny had some blades that were wood, curved etc. but the action that the goaltender saw was different from their normal view. The stiffness is actual, if not feeling stiffer...I could care less what anyone says here, but I've had former-NHL players and local (StL)coaches ask who I played for; this stick can deliver and if you ARE serious you've got consistency. I don't sell for him or anything like that - I just had the mindset, when younger, if I'm going to play and get the chance I want something in my hands that feels like an extension of my vision...into the net.
I hope you didn't get that feeling from this. But in my defense, just look at the Sherwood Code V (which they sent me along with gloves, shoulders, elbows, and shins) review. I am still brutally honest and will not change that fact. This stick just legitimately impressed me.
@@HockeyReviews On that note... I reached out to you to do this review after watching the Code V review specifically because I wanted to get ripped to pieces if you didn't think they were up to the standards that I claim they are. I chose you specifically because I wanted someone who would give an honest opinion - not an "influencer" that says every free item that they receive is the best on the market
@@HockeyReviews I didnt really get the Feeling I really Just don't wan't one of the only honest Reviewers to more See the profitable Side of reviews that would be very sad. Please stay how you are, I love your Reviews 🙏
For what it is worth, as someone that watches all youtube videos on a large TV through the app, the multi colored logo can get a little distracting especially during game play.. Maybe make it smaller or a neutral color? Just some feedback.
This did not feel like a 19 min video lol. Idk how you made it this interesting lol
That is like one of the best compliments I have ever gotten haha. Thanks for the kind words :D
I have a few of these sticks... agreed that they're pretty good
i just ordered hemskys cant wait. my 4th stick i ordered from you.

But please do more Reviews on smaller Brand sticks
I love my prostock stick I got. Highly recommend trying it
tactile grip is extremely important to me. It really sucks that nobody is making tactile grip
i really want to try these guys out

I'd reach out to them because I haven't heard issues like that before with their sticks.
Been thinking about getting one of these for a while, would anyone seriously recomend it over a top brand stick?
100% get one.
From my experience it competes with the top brand sticks, so for the cost I would easily recommend it against a full priced top brand.
Love the video! Not much on these sticks available, but I really want one, lol. Will you be doing a review on the newer, more customizable sticks from this company?

Do you know how it compares to these sticks? I've ordered one of these sticks and I really like it, but they are pretty expensive in comparison.
I never tried the Extra Lite, just the normal Pro Blackout. It was fine but puck feel was lacking.
How is the flex compared to Bauer/CCM? I feel like CCMs are softer than Bauer so 75 CCM would be around same as 70 Bauer. Where does this one go?

@@HockeyReviews thats great cause i use a 65 flex and id love to try out ovie's curve tbh
between the bauer nexus geo and the pro stock, which one did you prefer?
Geo, but just because of the dampened puck feel.
I remember you were pretty big on hoapa. How would you compare these to hoapa? I have the right handed fact daddy arriving tomorrow btw.
So, I still think Hoapa are solid sticks, but these are considerably better for shooting and the grip finish. Hoapa was slightly below Sherwood, while these compete against the best.

Gotta just find what's comfortable to you! I use a stick that would be considered too small for my height. So unfortunately you have to just try different lengths and see what you like
@@HockeyReviews if I’m 5 foot 6 is that fine if I got a 65 inch stick?
If you can make a 65" stick work at 5'6. More power to you
If you had to rank this stick would it beat out the true stick you were not fond of or is it still below the big manufactures.
I like it more than the True, but it is on par with basically everything but CCM in terms of actual shooting.
Do they have 95 flex? Also when you say the blade is flat you mean the rocker of the blade?
They have 95, but it depends on the stick itself. And yes about the blade.

Do we have new Mission inline skates this year?
Not found anything online yet
I don't really do anything in regards to roller so can't say.
I'm curious, do they have different shaft shapes? Contoured, traditional, etc ?
Next season we will introduce a rounder almost intermediate option and a square option
yes

Are the pro stock stick durable
I haven't heard of any complaints.
Would you say this is a low mid kick like a nexus or a high mid kick like a tacks or ultrasonic
It is just a mid like Nexus.
